MOD! MOD! MOD! Lambrettavespascoota
This Thursday sees the first gig of the year for us. It's an early show at Cabaret Voltaire with Delta Mainline and Earnest Cox. Rehearsals have been good so, looking forward to taking the stage again.
The recent purchase of the Arctic Monkeys album got me thinking about the last band that I liked who had singles that went straight to number one. I am talking about The Jam, and there are similarities. Weller broke through as a raw teenager. His lyrics - at times - suggested wisdom beyond his years. And of course, the sheer raw energy - as this clip of the first single In the City live at The Electric Circus August 1977 shows. Still only 19 at the time. Mr Weller, Mr Foxton, you are cleared for take off.
Tip - press pause and wait a couple of minutes for it to load.
